Instructions

Melt the coconut oil in the microwave until it becomes liquid.
Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir until well incorporated.
Transfer to a little storage container, such as a glass jar with a lid. I used an old minced garlic container, which was the perfect size!
Let the toothpaste harden. To speed up the process, put it in the fridge.
Once it’s hardened, keep the toothpaste in your bathroom and enjoy your fresh, non toxic toothpaste!
